Do the tips chatter much at high speed?
These skis look sweet, like the perfect all around skis for most days except the deepest ones, which is what I'm looking for.
But I like to go pretty fast. I've found the chatter on skis like the S7s to be a bit too annoying at high speed. Can anyone comment on how much the tips chatter at high speed? Obviously your gonna get some of that with the rocker. But if your ripping groomers at high speed how much chatter is there? Is it too much?
Would a ski like the Volkl Mantras be a better all mountain ski for me if stability at high speed is a priority for me? I also want some float in the pow and the ability to slay trees too, which is why I lean towards this ski.

I haven't noticed any unusual chattering in the tips. They're stiffer than the s7 I believe. Also, the tip is capped construction which cuts down on weight, combined with stiffness throughout the tip means they don't bounce much.
